I've not done it, but I understand you can use dental floss and slide it under the adhesive holding the emblem on.

Yup use floss. You can heat the area a bit gently to make it easier. When its off you can come back with goo gone to remove any residue. Then wash the area. Its not hard at all. Just dont blast the heat gun or hair dryer to heavy on the paint area

Just ask tesla to do it when it comes in. You propably wouldn't be the first they have done for.

I removed mine from my S just a few days ago. It's just a foam double sided tape. You can just tear them off (carefully) and then clean off the residue. I was worried that after more than 2 years you would see some permanent marks on the paint but it's perfectly clean.

Trust me, I've seen worse in the BMW line. I don't really get the whole de-badging thing. Sure, I guess for most it's a clean, I want nothing on the car look, but most people who really know that line of car can tell which model it really is (not so much in the Tesla case obviously). But to each their own I guess. The fact you want to have Tesla put a badge back ON if you upgrade to the 75 makes me think for some reason you don't want to be known for having the lowly 60 model. No offense, but that's how it seems...
